Dang, I’d forgotten just how much I love the MAC Mattenes. It had been a while since the last time I wore anything from the line of semi-matte lipsticks, but today three of the 10 shades from the delightful new Posh Paradise collection refreshed my memory.

Feather light on the lips despite their full-coverage, highly pigmented formula, they apply evenly, dressing up lips in just two or three swipes with long lasting color capable of standing up to multiple cups of coffee or tea.

Some gals find the MAC Mattenes to be a touch drying, and I used to think so, too, but for some reason the shades in this new batch seem more moisturizing than I remember.

If you like simple, no-fuss lipsticks in elegant, rich shades, don’t miss the new Mattenes in MAC Posh Paradise.

YES! We made it, boo! It’s the weekend. Do you have any plans? I’ll be home most of the time, but I would like to visit with my BFF’s, Jen and Cindy, if I can finish all of my chores. Jen just had her baby boy last week, and I can’t wait to meet him.

The times, they are a-changin’. Jen, Cindy and I used to spend our days in high school talking about boys, which we still do, only now the boy’s an infant. Crazy!

Dang. These all look fantastic on you, but I really like Naked Bliss. My big weekend plan is tubing down a river all day for my friend’s birthday! 8)Soleil Doux @ Soleil Doux Blog recently posted … Urban Decay Giveaway!

Congrats to Jen! It’s funny, a lot of my high school friends have babies now. In the past year, at least a dozen people I know have had babies. It’s a reminder that I’m not as young as I used to be! LOL.

I was going to buy Legendary, but it was mentioned on Temptalia that Kittenish (which I own) is similar. So I think I’m covered.

Thanks for posting pics with the products – it always makes it easier to be able to see how they look on someone! I’ve been trying out different makeup looks lately and work with the makeover tool on Taaz.com – your photos have given me some good color ideas though, thanks!
